About Me

Who is Joel Austell? I was born in 1979 at 10:30 PM with a camera around my neck. Okay, I made that last part up. The truth is, I picked up the camera when I was 9 years old. The first picture I took was of an elephant at the San Diego Zoo. It didn't win any awards but I was hooked. As a teenager I spent all my free time skateboarding. When I wasn't landing tricks I was behind a camera capturing images of my friends trying tricks or taking nasty spills. What do I do for fun these days? I take pictures, of course. My wife is also passionate about photography and we spend many of our date nights looking for new and totally awesome places to take photographs. We never leave our cameras behind. I consider myself incredibly lucky because I am able to do what I love everyday. I never wake up and wish I didn't have to go to work. I love working with people and consider everyone I work with a friend. I owe all my success to God and thank him daily for all my blessings! I am living life and loving it with my beautiful wife and kids by my side. Life is good!

Soo & Alex





















I must say that I have been looking forward to Soo and Alex's wedding ever since they booked me in January. They had a beautiful day, and I had great vendors to work with, Square root, squarerootdesigns.com, Sharon Gall corrdinated the day, and Steve Burdick provided the tunes, www.steveburdickevents.com are a few to name. Alex and Soo's celebration began early in the day and lasted late into the evening. They performed two tea ceremony's, a Koren one for Soo, and a Chinese one for Alex. Soo and Alex where very laid back and a pleasure to work with. I am very pleased with their photos. I hope I will be seeing Alex and Soo often.
